Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Elon finally found out about the Trump "touch" and how everything Trump touches turns to shit. Elon is not an innocent in this though.
Elon has the same magical touch.
The Mierdas Touch
It’s incredible just how dumb he is. Like, dude, just throw daddy’s blood money at these startups and let them do their thing. But no, he has to get involved for ego reasons and absolutely wrecks them in the cringiest way possible.

He doesn't need to be there in person to tug on Trump's strings
He can puppeteer him remotely now that he has done the fundamental damage
America, you guys are so fucked
I don't know how this shit will end, but I can't see anything other than it getting a whole lot worse in the immediate future, and probably for a generation

Historically what comes next is a FDR style candidate and a huge progressive movement...
Then 30-40 years later people will forget neoliberlaism was the root cause and the wealthy will buy off both parties again.
Shit is fucked at the moment, but there's reasons to be optimistic for the future
I sure hope something good comes from it
It's hard to see right now
I'm grateful that I live in a civilised country, but I would rather not see people harmed anywhere

we're probably going to have a civil war of some variety. that's my prediction at least
Tesla is still fucked. Never forgive never forget
yup. starlink might be tanking, too. they're having to give away hardware and discount monthly rates these days.
Dude already stole all our data and destroyed every bureau of federal government that was in his way.
And helped destroy most of the others as well. He doesn't need to be there in person.
I want to see these fucking traitors hang.
There's a very good chance we see justice now that the neoliberals are out of the DNC. They didn't want to hold Republicans accountable because then people would expect neoliberals to be held accountable as well.
The people want them held accountable, and they'll vote accordingly. With a fair DNC that's the candidate we'll get. And without a neoliberals being shoved down America's throats, winning elections are easy.
People don't blame Biden's admin enough for refusing to hold trump accountable for all the shit from his first term. It wasn't just bad then, it depressed turnout and let trump back in.
Thankfully rational people control the DNC again.

“Instead of meeting with him in person, I’m talking to him on the phone, but it’s the same net effect,” White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told the New York Post
So he's still doing what he's doing, just working remotely. Despite no other federal employees getting to work remotely.
There's a reason he installed Starlink at the Whitehouse and several other federal buildings
you mean that wasn't to get around any security systems in place so he could upload data to 'remote' servers 'somewhere' outside of the government's control?
Since its starlink its probably not for this purpose, but a commercial internet connection really isn't that uncommon; sometimes its for the TV in the lobby, or free guest WIFI; usually it's for systems that perform a necessary function, but would be crippled by network restrictions.
Same thing.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Outside of the US Government's control, you mean....
